Emily Dawnson, Mind Walkers journey

(This story starts off slow but it will soon get more intreasting. There also might be some miss spelled words that I will corect soon.)

                                                              Prologue

    There are sayings of those who know what you are about to say before you even open up your mouth. Who could make things fly just by looking at them. There voices boomed all around you like an echo when they spoke and who could live for centurys with out looking older then 25 years of age. They even say that at night wild beast come to them to dance and sing songs of wonder. The "them" I speak of are people called mind walkers, who are born with great powers your scientist would call folly in all ways. . . . but it is the ugly truth.

    These true sayings became stories. These true stories became legands. These true legands became myths. And these true myths were forgotten. . . . well, not forgotten by the mind walkers them selves of course.

                                                          Chapter One

                                                            A New Life

    EMILY Dawnson waited quietly in the large waiting room, twirling her pencil in her hand. It fell out of her fingers and landed on the floor which made a supriseingly loud THUMP in the quiet room. She gave a sigh and picked it up. Emily looked at her bff Elizabeth Frost ( or Beth for short ) who was siting glumly in the chair next to her. Her friend was wearing a white "beginners" robe like all the other teen- agers in the room. She raked her pale fingers through her long brownish blondish hair and turned her head to look at Emily.

   

~ I can`t take it any more! ~ Beth`s voice hissed in Emily`s mind. ~I whish that  they would just say which ones of use made it so we can be done with this! The waiting is killing me.~

   

Emily Dawnson and her friend Elizabeth had just taken the mind walkers test at the mind walkers third academy in south America. The test figures out if you are strong anof to countinue your training. Only 6 of them could make it and there were 20 of them in that room. Emily`s eyes wandered over to her brother Alan Dawnson who was the only person in that room who was smiling and when he saw her looking at him he winked.

   

~I wish I was as confident as Alan.~ Emily thought keeping her thought to her self. ~The odds are horible though. I mean 6 to 20? No chance..... well mabe....~

   

The noise of feet on tile became heared and countinued to get louder into it seemed to stop infront of the door. If there was any noise in the room it would have stoped. Every one raised there heads as a tall slim figure walked through the door. It was a man with a black robe and a black belt on with neatly cut black hair. Emily`s deep green eyes studied the mind walker master.

   

"I persume you all know why I`m here." His voice seemed to come from every where like any other mind walker. Emily remembered how all her friends called her echo song. When silence answered him he countinued. "I am master Thor of the black bear tribe and as you all know you are trying to be a memmber of the White Hawk tribe. Six of you will make it, 14 of you will not. The six of you who do make it will be given a new room and will be given a black belt to show that you have mastered the white stage of a mind walke." Master Thor pointed to Alans white robe.



  "Those who do not make it will leave with out any forther do and never speak of this place agian."

~He likes doing this~ Emily relized. Like responding to her thought he looked up from his papers and spoke.

"I don't like this any more then you do... but, always remmember that you all have special talents."



  ~He has a fancy mouth but I`m not convinced.~ Emily brushed her red wavey hair out of her eyes. Thor looked at his papers once agian. "Alan Dawnson. Pased and talent is time." Emilys twin brother stood up and walked over to stand to master Thor. "Emily Dawnson passed. Talent is nature. She wasen`t suprised since her brother was picked. Now she just hoped that Beth made it. Emily thought of this as she walked over to stand next to Alan.



  "Seridan Jackson, passed. Talent is combat." A brown haired boy with a wicked smile walked slowly to stand on the left side of Thor. "Shan Maze. Passed and talent is shifting." Shan was formaly biting his lip but when he heard his name he smiled and steped forward. "Minda Cantral. Passed and talent is health." The girl named Minda gracefully stode up to stand next to Sharidon. "And last Elizabeth Frost. Passed and talent is animals." At first she just looked up and blinked but when she saw every one glareing at her she quickly shuffled forward.



  Emily silently let out a sigh of relif for her friend. ~All three of us made it.~ She thought with a grin.



  "Here are your keys to your new room. Your scedule and belt will be on your bed." Thor gave each of them a key that had a room number on it. Emilys number was 22. Her favroite number.



  "Emily please come back to Earth now. The key can`t be that important." The speaker was none other then Thor. One of his eye brows were raised and his eyes showed amusment. Emily felt her self blush. Minda, Shariden and Shan had already left and Beth and Alan waited for her at the door.



  ~Oh my gosh. Why am I still standing here?!?~ Emily quickly got er bagpack and purse from under the chair she was seting in and ran out the door with her friends. After a few minutes Beth taped the number on her key and pointed to her door. "Thats my room. Number nineteen. See you later I guss."



  "See ya." Was the response from the Dawnson twins. Emily waited till Elizabeth closed the door behind her before she turned to her brother. "How did yo-" Emily wanted to say how in the world he knew they would all be chosen when he interupted.



  "You should know, sis." Emily thought for a momment. "Of course. Your talent, why diden`t you tell me?" She rememmbered that his talent was time and he could see a few minutes into the future.

  "We are not sopose to talk while we are waiting." Alan replied.

  "I know but you could tell me... with your thoughts." Emily still felt uneasy speaking about mind walker abilitys.

  " Um uh.... I dont know how to yet." Alan scratched his head and looked down.

  "What!?! You should have told me. If they found out that you coulden`t..... I am going to teach you."

    "But-"

    "No buts. I gotta go to my room now. Bye." Emily ran to room 22, unlocked the door and went into her room locking it behind her. "Room" isen`t really the right word for it. More like miny house. There was a liveing room the size if a large utility room a coat closet
